I’ve learned a lot more than 3 things while I’ve been here. Here are 3 of the things that I’ll probably use most frequently learned while at the DEN National Science Institute:
1) How to use the Admin side of DE (I’m hoping to have access soon so I can practice)
2) How to upload a teacher and student spreadsheet to create accounts
3) How to use the Slider tool and the Envelope tools in Audacity
Brad and crew – Thanks for everything! It’s been a very stimulating two days and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Only three things….
The complete Science lesson activities with Bill McDonald. Bill pulled it all together!
Cool ways to use Web 2.0 tools (blabberize/animoto) with DE products.
Creating google earth tour…adding images, embedding code, and the overlays!

Bill McDonald pulling it all together, I learned some additional features in Google Earth and Jannita with some great ppt tips and sharing her resources with us. This has been a great couple of days. Going back and CT we have several Middle School Science sessions scheduled boy are they going to get some good ideas.

This has been a wonderful experience. I have learned the following three things: a) how to create a Virtual Field Trip on Google Earth; b) another example to show my teachers on how to integrate technology and hands-on science; c) all the wonderful ways you can create lessons for students in the DE Science.

1.I learned how to build an assessment from choosing questions to looking at student data from the assessment.
2. I learned about the sneeze video which I intend to share with others in the district.
3.I learned that power point can be used in more ways than a slide show- how to embed video and images.

I really enjoyed the connections between the hands on inquiries and the virtual sites. The integration with reading, math and science is always the icing on the cake. Many ways to stretch beyond a “regular power point” in adding videos,images, etc.etc. The assessment piece especially the standards developed questions and how that would give our students some practice for our state assessment.

Thanks for everything, Brad and Janita! The conference was great!
The three things I learned:
1. I learned how to add images into google earth
2. I learned how to upload spreadsheets to create student accounts in the admin site. I would be interested to hear how other districts manage these student accounts this school year. If any districts used student accounts this past year and would be willing to share some feedback with me on how it worked out, please share.
3. Embedding a YouTube video into Powerpoint. -Thanks for showing this to me, Margie!

1) I needed to see how to extend power point beyond what I have already done and after today I will now be able to show my staff how to create some powerful DE media enriched presentations.
2) The science assessment manager is a powerful tool to build assessments. The teachers I work with will certainly use this. I love that it is tied to our state standards.
3) I have additional resources to share with my staff on how to use Google Earth to create media enhanced field trips. Knowing that I need to embed my files in the folder first makes sense. THANK YOU!

DE consistently provides “top notch” workshops and conferences. I am so fortunate to be here these three days! Thank you for all of your resources!

I really enjoyed the review of Google Earth since I haven’t used it in a while. Since the county doesn’t allow us to use GE, I’m thinking that perhaps I can apply some of those same tools to Google Maps with similar results.

Great ideas for making powerpoint more engaging. I am lookinf forward to sharing with the media specialists in the county.
Web 2.0 tools are always great to learn since they are free!

1. Building assessments in DE. – thanks Brad
2. Seeing the science lessons from start to finish – thanks Bill.
3. All of the amazing Web 2.0 tools and how easily they can be incorporated into ppt and DE. – Thanks Jannita and Pat
4. Google Earth and DE – a marriage made in heaven – thanks Lance.

There are many more than THREE things that I have learned in the past two days! Among the top choices are:
1. How to bring the numerous technologies together for our students (Love those Web 2.0 tools!)
2. How to create virtual field trips using Google Earth and DE Science.
3. A better understanding of both sides (Admin and Teacher) of DE Science.

The past two days have been truly “amazing”! Enjoyed and absorbed every minute of it! Thanks DE Science Team!

Three things I learned
1. Free resources on login page. Great resources for Science Fair projects. this resource is great for teachers, students and Parents
2. Inserting images Google earth
3 tricking PP so the video clip does not show a black screen.
